In my opinion, Sebastian Bach is one of the best singers on the planet. His days with Skid Row birthed some of the most memorable vocal performances in modern rock. It’s no secret that he was booted from the Row, and it’s no secret that a reunion …

Splinter is the seventh studio album by The Offspring, produced by Brendan O’brien and released in 2003, three years after the bands last album Conspiracy Of One. The album is a welcome step away from the last album, and I am really pleased to see the band’s return to …

Overview - Long John Silver, Jefferson Airplane’s seventh effort, is an album that truly relied on Jorma Kaukonen, if he was not on this album, it would’ve been miles worse than what it was. Although the album really isn’t that good by any means, I’d say just average at …

Off the Forever More album by tesla is the song In A Hole Again. this song starts off with clean guitar arpeggiated riff and then it goes into bass by Brian Wheat. I think the bass is a little too loud but the song really starts to pick up …

It seems to me that the rock song ‘You Belong to the City’ that became popular in the mid 80’s (1985, to be exact) tries to tell something and not just merely describing in a reflective way by using some sort of a second person address (like talking …

I am not thoroughly familiar with Kanye West’s previous works, but I have listened to his recently released single with Rihanna, “Famous” and I can definitely say that this man is some kind of a genius!
I can certainly remember the time when everyone was angry with Rihanna and him …

Great and Inspirational. That are just two words of the very many that I could come up with to describe this fantastic song. This is a second version of the song “Airplanes”. It includes its original artists B.o.B and Hayley Williams of Paramore, but it also includes Eminem, a …

The Black Keys are really hot right now. And I feel sorry that I happened to find out about this band only along with everybody else, during the wave, the tsunami of their breaking into the mainstream, and not earlier than that.
El Camino is a great album, and I …
